Editor-in-Chief and CEO of The Tennessee Star Michael Patrick Leahy said the John Fredericks Radio Network is the only radio network left in the country that hosts independent, America First personalities as other networks, like Audacy, are being bought out and transformed into left-wing outlets by the likes of George Soros.
Leahy, who hosts The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy on 760 AM WENO “The Flame,” Nashville’s only America First Newstalk station, said Soros, a Democrat mega-donor, is buying up radio networks across the country as a “2024 campaign contribution for the Democrats.”
“I’ve been in radio for six years and it’s changed dramatically,” Leahy said during Friday’s edition of Outside the Beltway with John Fredericks. “One thing I can tell you is that if you have an independent America First voice, there’s only one place in the country where you’ve got a network that can do that. In fact, John, I’m going to praise you because you’re too modest to do that. You now run the largest independent talk radio network in the country…If you want to get the America First message, you’ve got to go to the John Fredericks Radio Network.”
“Now contrast that with iHeartMedia, my former radio home, which has about 800 stations, cumulus about 400,” Leahy added. “Now Audacy, which is now, as you point out, has been purchased in essence by the communist George Soros. What do you think he’s going to do with conservative talk there? He’s going to dump it and he doesn’t need to make money. This is, in effect, a 2024 campaign contribution for the Democrats.”
Leahy went on to note that despite conservative talk radio shows being “throttled” by Fortune 500 companies and ad agencies, listeners to America First shows are “passionate” and “engaged.”
“But the salvation is the patriot economy,” Leahy said. “It’s really startling to take hold…because people who listen to the John Fredericks Radio Show or Stephen K. Bannon’s War Room are passionate, they’re engaged, and your endorsement or Stephen K. Bannon’s endorsement or my endorsement of a patriot economy product carries weight with listeners on the John Fredericks Radio Network and on Real America’s Voice.”

As AM receivers are no longer being offered in new automobiles, may I suggest an X account or some other way of shared broadcast that can be streamed in the vehicle. AM radio will continue to hold an important place in communication, especially if the shit hits the fan, however, it is a stagnant -if not dying- media format.
